⁶ for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;'

¹⁹ `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform;

¹² For whom Jehovah loveth He reproveth, Even as a father the son He is pleased with.

⁷⁵ I have known, O Jehovah, That righteous `are' Thy judgments, And `in' faithfulness Thou hast afflicted me.

¹ By David. -- An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression `is' forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

² O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

³ When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.

⁴ When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah.

⁵ My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, `I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.

²⁴ Whoso is sparing his rod is hating his son, And whoso is loving him hath hastened him chastisement.

¹⁴ I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealings perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam,

¹¹ lo, we call happy those who are enduring; the endurance of Job ye heard of, and the end of the Lord ye have seen, that very compassionate is the Lord, and pitying.

¹² Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.

⁷ if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?

⁸ and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.

²⁴ Chastise me, O Jehovah, only in judgment, Not in Thine anger, lest Thou make me small.

⁷¹ Good for me that I have been afflicted, That I might learn Thy statutes.

¹² O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,

³⁰ If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not walk;

³¹ If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep,

³² I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And with strokes their iniquity,

³³ And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.

³⁴ I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.

¹⁴ And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof `is' every morning.

¹⁵ If I have said, `I recount thus,' Lo, a generation of Thy sons I have deceived.

⁵ and thou hast known, with thy heart, that as a man chastiseth his son Jehovah thy God is chastising thee,

⁹ Therefore by this is the iniquity of Jacob covered, And this `is' all the fruit -- To take away his sin, in His setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They rise not -- shrines and images.
